Frequently Asked Questions

In an industrial port area about three kilometres from downtown. Walking out is not permitted, so shuttles run into the city centre in about ten minutes.

Fourth Avenue with its craft shops, cafés and murals, then the Anchorage Museum or the Alaska Native Heritage Center. The coastal trail offers an easy walk facing Cook Inlet.
Yes, and not only in the woods. It is not unusual to see one crossing a residential street or grazing in a city park. Keep your distance: these are large wild animals, unpredictable in spring with calves.
About 300,000 people, by far the largest city in Alaska. It sits between the waters of Cook Inlet and the peaks of the Chugach Mountains: the wilderness starts literally at the end of the sidewalk.

The US dollar, cards accepted everywhere. One welcome quirk: Alaska levies no state sales tax, though some municipalities charge their own.
English. Around twenty Alaska Native languages survive in the state, and the Native Heritage Center lets you hear them.
